< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise YAH! Praise, you servants of YHWH. Praise the Name of YHWH.
Hallelujah. Praise the Lord, you his servants, praise the name of the Lord.
2 The Name of YHWH is blessed, From now on, and for all time.
The name of the Lord be blessed from now and for evermore.
3 From the rising of the sun to its going in, The Name of YHWH [is] praised.
From sunrise to sunset is the name of the Lord to be praised.
4 YHWH [is] high above all nations, His glory [is] above the heavens.
High is the Lord above all nations, above the heavens is his glory.
5 Who [is] as our God YHWH, He is exalting [Himself] to sit?
Who is like the Lord our God, seated on high?
6 He is humbling [Himself] to look On the heavens and on the earth.
He bends down to look at the heavens and earth.
7 He is raising up the poor from the dust, He exalts the needy from a dunghill.
He raises the weak from the dust, he lifts the poor from the dunghill,
8 To cause [them] to sit with princes, With the princes of His people.
and sets them beside the princes, even the princes of his people.
9 Causing the barren one of the house to sit, A joyful mother of sons; praise YAH!
He gives the childless woman a home, and makes her the happy mother of children. Hallelujah.
